About Sweetopia

Hi, I’m Marian, and if you haven’t already guessed, I have a thing for sweets. Especially the decorated cookie kind. Welcome to the place where I like to share all things related to my sugar art passion, including how-to’s and recipes.

Blogging here on Sweetopia makes me happy.  My website has become a labour of love; creating the confections, showing how I make them, and communicating with you, are all parts of a passion which is sweet in so many more ways than one.  I hope you enjoy your visit here!

A little more about me…

People often ask how I make my cookies, cupcakes etc., so I decided to create a fun place here to share all my information. By no means am I an expert! There are so many people with much more talent and skill than myself, but I can share what I know, even if it’s a yummy recipe or which tools I use to make my sugar crafts.

Pinterest has become the perfect place to bookmark all my favorite things; if you’d like to find me there, click here.

I love to read feedback and comments, so drop me a line any time. I may not add to my blog every day, as I try to keep my life balanced, but I do love to hear from you and will respond as soon as I can!

You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
